Uniform
Principles
It is our policy that all children should wear clothing that is in keeping with a purposeful learning ethos. We also believe it is important that certain activities are facilitated by specialised and appropriate clothing when attending school, or when participating in a school-organised event outside normal school hours. We provide a complete list of the items needed for children’s school uniform in this policy and on our school website.
Aims
Our policy for children’s school uniform is based on the belief that a school uniform:
- promotes a sense of pride in the school
- engenders a feeling of community and belonging
- is practical and smart
- identifies the children with the school
- is not distracting in class (as fashion clothes might be)
- makes children feel equal to their peers in terms of appearance
- is regarded as suitable, and good value for money, by most parents
- has been designed with health and safety in mind.

Jewellery
On health and safety grounds we do not allow children to wear fashion jewellery in our school. A single pair of small, circular stud earrings and / or watch may be worn, but must be removed for PE and other active sessions. If you are considering getting your child’s ears pierced please could you do this during the long Summer holiday.
Make up and Cosmetics
Make up and cosmetics are not considered appropriate or consistent with our school uniform. The school does not permit such products to be worn by any children, unless there is a specific event for which the Head has given permission. This includes fake tattoos.
Hair
Hair styles should be sensible, smart and not distracting. Long hair should be tied back with small, simple hair bands and clips. The school considers that the colouring of hair is not appropriate or consistent with our School uniform, unless there is a specific event for which the Headteacher has given permission.
